TRIBUTE
TO ROGERIO SGANZERLA - III DLA FILM FESTIVAL |
www.BrazilianArtists.net and the III DLA Film
Fest are honoured to pay tribute to Rogério
Sganzerla, the Award-winning Brazilian director
of 'Cinema Marginal', who passed away in January
2004. |
|
|
His wife, Helena Ignez, herself a muse and celebrated
actress of the Brazilian Cinema Novo,
will introduce the premiere in the UK of The
Red Light Bandit. She will be joined by
their daughter Djin Sganzerla, also an actress
and film-maker, for the Q&A session after
the screening. |
The session
will be chaired by Adriana Rouanet, Lecturer on Brazilian
Culture and Cinema at Queen Mary, University of London
and Brazilian Contemporary Arts (BCA).
A milestone
in Brazilian cinema, critics consider the Red
Light Bandit (1968) one of the best films ever
made in Brazil and the most representative of the
Marginal or Udigrudi (underground) Cinema
that came to contest the Cinema Novo project.
To some extent, it is the cinematic equivalent of
the tropicalist movement in Brazilian pop music.
The short film Brasil (1981) was filmed
on location at the music studios during recordings
of João Gilberto, with the participation
of Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia. |
